    Move Folder/Files bug

    I don't know whether this has already been reported but here goes anyway. If
    you move "Folder A" to "Folder B" which already contains a "Folder A", vista
    prompts you if you want to replace the folder, then prompts you if you want
    to replace the file(s). Once the move process completes the original folder
    is left in the source location (but all files have been moved).

    This only occurs if there are files in the source and destination (I belive
    at least 1 has to match).

    Oh yeah, that is a known (and very irritating) issue that has had many
    people up in arms.
